Summer Comes On

I am certainly eating from the garden these days, which is a great pleasure. This weekend I harvested carrots, beets, lettuces, radishes and onions.

From what I could see, there are at least three zucchini that will be ready later this week,

tomatoes small and large on all the plants,

some lovely bell peppers, which seem early,

and what looks to be the potential for a lot of cucumbers. Bread and butter pickles, here I come!!!

The pole beans are blossoming, so I hope to have those as well.

And there are flowers galore, especially bee balm,

And zinnias, whose artful buds I had not taken much notice of before. There is always something new in the garden.

I brought home a bouquet of course.

Later this week, I will need to get some bone meal onto the tomatoes, as at least one plant appears to have some blossom rot. In the meantime, I’ll be watching the squash so I can pick them at a reasonable size!
